Ohana means Family! And here is Stitch Amigurumi inspired from the very cute Lilo and Stitch animated movie.
It’s been awhile since I’ve continued on with my Open Mouth Amigurumi series, and well I thought with his wide alien mouth, Stitch amigurumi would be the perfect candidate for my latest free crochet pattern!
Just look how adorable he is with his open mouth and those cute little sharp teeth!
His other features include of course his wide ears, and his cute little paws with claws on them.
He also has dark blue body markings on his back.
I designed this Stitch Amigurumi so you can make him in different various poses with the same pattern.
Depending on how you sew him during the assembly, you can have pose him standing up with his arms stretched out.
He can also be sitting with all 4 limbs to the ground. He reminds me a bit of a puppy here!
Or you can also do a position where Stitch amigurumi is sitting down, but with hands to the side, as seen with Angel here. They make such a cute couple!
So have fun experimenting with all his different poses and let me know which one you chose to do. I must say, my favorite is the one standing with his arms raised. He already looks happy with the open mouth, but with his arms raised, he looks like he wants to give you a great big hug, or possibly, a great big scare!
And of course Stitch amigurumi really adores music and dancing, so here he is doing a little bit of hula dancing as well! I’ve also included the hula skirt as a bonus accessory crochet pattern in the written pattern below.
Here are some of my other Open Mouth Amigurumi patterns, you may enjoy making!

January 1, 2022 at 11:51 amI love this pattern, so many new things to try and links to specific parts of the video were so helpful. I’ve made this for a friends birthday and he’s almost too cute to give up! Thank you so much for this wonderful pattern, definitely the best I’ve seen, easy to follow and if you get a bit lost (I’m self taught so always learning!) it’s easy to pick it up with your helpful videos. I crocheted him standing up with his arms out wearing his grass skirt he is at maximum cuteness!
